Hi, not sure the Excel forum is the right area for this Q. Backstage (the area where you see recent, open new files, ..) is part of the Office stack. I think the right group is https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-Apps/ct-p/OfficeApps1 

 

Alistair_Speirs might be the right person to ask or know the right person to ask. 

 

I just checked quickly in my version of Excel, I am able to Pin files and folders that show as part of Recent, but not when I browse via a content source (places). In other words I need to have opened the files or folder once before and then I will be able to Pin it. (Sites beeing the exception for this). This makes sense as all the other files are mine (OneDrive personal and bussiness). 

 

Hope that helps

Hi Olaf,

 

Thanks for the response, appreciate it. I can't get the link you posted to work sadly. I'm happy to repost in the Office community, I can see one called Office 365, is that the one? (Sorry, still a newbie round here).
